A current I flows through a wire upward. The wire is in a magnetic field, B which points out of the page. The magnetic force on the wire will be?

toward east (or right of you). use flaming's left hand rule for the direction of force.

OpenStudy (radar):

Has the "community" finally agreed on the direction of current? or the definition of current. When I was going to school, there were two thoughts. One that current is the flow of electrons and therefore it direction was from negative to positive (potential) then there was another school of thought that defined the direction as traveling from positive to negative (potential) Of course it is all relative, but it did make difference in what hand you were using. lol Left hand rule or the right hand rule.
